Baseball in Denmark exists in the cities of Aarhus, Odense, Herning and Copenhagen (https://www.baseball.dk/baseball-clubs-in-denmark/). As of autumn 2022, the Copenhagen Baseball Club initiated a new playing field in Valby (https://copenhagenbaseball.dk/). Denmark has had a senior national baseball league (DM) since 2014. In 2014 a new international standard Odense baseball stadium was initiated as the Danish national stadium. With the formation of the Danish National Baseball Program (https://danmarkbaseball.dk/) in June 2024, this small nation has begun a saga to join the international baseball community and strive for elite performance levels. In September 2024 the newly formed U-15 Danish National team participated and won the first ever Nordic Baseball Championship tournament that included teams from Norway, Sweden and Finland (https://www.facebook.com/1489369570/videos/pcb.10161494609539020/1527677018112063). This is the first step in many by the Danish National Baseball Program to put Denmark on the international baseball map. There are already plans for a U-18 national team within the coming years, with the mission to bring Denmark closer to be able to qualify for Olympic baseball.
